1 Relationship between s-plane and z-plane
In the analysis and design of continuous time control systems, the pole-zero con?guration of the
transfer function in s-plane is often referred. We know that:
• Left half of s-plane? Stable region.
• Right half of s-plane? Unstable region.
Forrelativestabilityagainthelefthalfisdividedintoregionswherethecontrollooptransfer
function poles should preferably be located.
Similarly the poles and zeros of a transfer function in z-domain govern the performance
characteristics of a digital system.
One of the properties of F
*
(s) is that it has an in?nite number of poles, located periodically
with intervals of±mw
s
with m = 0,1,2,....., in the s-plane where w
s
is the sampling frequency
in rad/sec.
If the primary strip is considered, the path, as shown in Figure 1, will be mapped into a
unit circle in the z-plane, centered at the origin. The mapping is shown in Figure 2.
Since

1.1 Mapping guidelines
1. All the points in the left half s-plane correspond to points inside the unit circle in z-plane.
2. All the points in the right half of the s-plane correspond to points outside the unit circle.

1.2 Constant damping loci, constant frequency loci and constant

Constant damping loci: The real part s of a pole, s = s + jw, of a transfer function in
s-domain, determines the damping factor which represents the rate of rise or decay of time
response of the system.
• Large s represents small time constant and thus a faster decay or rise and vice versa.
• The loci in the left half s-plane (vertical line parallel to jw axis as in Figure 3(a)) denote
positive damping since the system is stable
• The loci in the right half s-plane denote negative damping.
• Constant damping loci in the z-plane are concentric circles with the center at z = 0, as
shown in Figure 3(b).
• Negative damping loci map to circles with radii > 1 and positive damping loci map to
circles with radii < 1.
